Problems solved by technology

While these devices with two or more communication interfaces are able to communicate with a larger number of other devices, the existence of multiple communication interfaces in the same device creates other problems.
Additionally, the close proximity of transmitters for the multiple wireless communication interfaces can cause interference when two or more transmitters are transmitting simultaneously.
This interference problem is

Abstract

A device is provided that is capable of simultaneous communication over multiple wired and wireless networks. The device is capable of processing data received simultaneously over multiple networks by storing the data in data buffers and using a polling routine to retrieve the data from the data buffers. The device is capable of preventing interference when communicating over multiple wireless networks in the same frequency band by monitoring the frequency channel used by one of the wireless networks and controlling the frequency channels used by the other wireless networks.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 616,573, filed Oct. 6, 2004, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates generally to devices capable of communicating over networks, and more particularly, to devices that are capable of communicating simultaneously over multiple networks, both wired and wireless. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Devices communicate or exchange data with other devices using a number of different communication interfaces. Hard-wired communication interfaces include serial and universal serial bus (USB). Wireless communication interfaces include Bluetooth, wireless Ethernet (also called WiFi or 802.11b), and general packet radio service (GPRS) to name a few. [0004] Bluetooth is a low power wireless personal area network (PAN) intended for short distance communications and intended to be used as a cable rep...
